Uganda Refugee Cash Transfer Monitoring Survey, April 2019

A post-distribution monitoring survey of 254 refugee households in Uganda receiving cash-based humanitarian aid in April 2019. The data was collected by the UN Refugee Agency (UNHCR) using stratified random sampling focused on vulnerable groups, including caregivers of children with disabilities and the elderly. Uganda hosts approximately 1.2 million refugees, with a majority from South Sudan settled in the West Nile region.

Use Cases

• Assessing aid distribution effectiveness based on the stratified sampling criteria for vulnerable households.
• Analyzing the demographic composition of aid recipients based on described categories like elderly caregivers or single heads of household.
• Evaluating program targeting for specific needs, such as support for children with disabilities or serious medical conditions.

Strengths

• Focuses on a specific, vulnerable population of 254 households selected via stratified random sampling.
• Provides context on the broader refugee situation, including the 1.2 million refugees hosted in Uganda and their primary origins.
